14 DAY TRIAL // We’ve known for a while that Windows 10 version 1809, also known as October 2018 Update, is one of the buggiest OS updates ever release, so it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that people have discovered another BSOD bug in the operating system.
And what’s more, it appears that anyone can reproduce it if their systems have been upgraded to Windows 10 version 1809, though it’s worth mentioning that some say the same issue exists on previous feature updates too.
Technically, what you need to do is to head over to Bluetooth settings and repeatedly click the Bluetooth toggle to switch it on and off several times.
If the bug exists on your system, this series of clicks should cause a system crash, forcing the computer to reboot.
Bad Bluetooth drivers?
By the looks of things, there is an issue with Bluetooth drivers and isn’t necessarily related to Windows 10, though the simple fact that some users claim the problem has been around for a while should be reason for Microsoft to investigate and step in to correct it.
Reddit users have confirmed in this thread that the glitch can be reproduced on their systems as well, and even more surprising is that a few managed to trigger the BSOD on Microsoft’s very own Surface computers. Needless to say, the system must have a Bluetooth adapter installed.
If you want to see the glass half full, it’s pretty difficult to hit the issue by accident, and I’d really be curious to find out how the first user came across it, especially because it requires clicking the Bluetooth toggle several times in a row.
Windows 10 October 2018 Update isn’t available for download anymore due to a file removal bug, so hopefully, when Microsoft resumes the rollout, it would address this issue as well.
